  • 2 1/2 cup of any fruit (berries, pineapple, mango, peaches, pineapple)
  • 4-6 tablespoons of honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions:

Step 1: Mix ingredients in a blender until smooth
Step 2: Pour into six popsicle molds and secure the sticks and lids
Step 3: Freeze for 8 hours or overnight
Step 4: Release from the molds by running warm water over the mold.
